thick velvet folds

of darkness all around me

caress me

yet suffocate me

 

i lie in wait

and smell the earth

of mother nature’s

preternatural womb

 

i’m lonely still

yet not alone

and I wait until

you all come home

 

i miss you more

than you miss me

i never knew before

about reality

 

sadness drips from vessels such as eyes

dryness cracks

the sands of time

 

i fear for you

not for me

for i have

all of eternity

 

i’ll have my questions answered

never more to doubt

basking in god’s sunshine

i’ll never be without

 

i feel your love

from up above

i share your tears

but not your fears

 

i know someday

we’ll meet again

i will show you

a true friend
